California English Pt. 2 - Vampire Weekend

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

This girl wrote drug raps in baggy sweaters

Tight neon tights, T-shirts and big letters

Back at her house was an Irish setter

With a heart-shaped tag hanging off its collar

Through half the towns of Arizona

I dream the dreams I have when I hold her

Near Palm Springs, we were struck by boulders

'Cause they looked like skull and bones

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Questions I had as I went through this:

Are our parents actually Buddhist?

Is the pool below me the bluest?

Is the TV on?

Through half the Taquerias y Fondas

Half the health clubs, half of the saunas

Half the Barbaras, half of the Rhondas

Is there something there?

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

This girl was smarter than television scripts

This girl wasn’t damaged, her jeans were just ripped

This girl was the girl that the girls in your world thought about

When the night was cold

How many towns have claimed that they know you?

How many nations think that they own you?

How many simple minds think the same sun

Don’t shine on their sunglasses now?

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh

Oh, California, oh, California, oh, California, oh
